proceeded
smoothly
today

there
was
some

resistance
by
Iranian

have
taken
over
three

one
of
which
is
the
site
of
one
of
the
largest
oil
refineries
in
the
word.
Seizure
of
oil
facilities,
railway
terminals

such
establishments
is
the
objective
of
the
British

Russians
and
their
desire
is
to
carry
this
out
with
a
minimum
of
bloodshed.
The

of
Tabriz
is
a
particular
objective
of
